On the day
Travel
light.
On the day
Travel light
Lots of bags make it hard to focus, and losing something ruins the day. Bags end up on the ground while we shoot, and I can’t be responsible for them. Best plan: shoot, drop your things at the hotel, then carry on.
Flowers without wrapping
Bring just the stems — 4 to 8 is plenty. Monoprix and Franprix sell them. For a morning shoot, buy the day before and keep the ends in cold water.
Poses you love? Send them early
If they fit the route and the location, I’ll work them in. Composition and poses, yes. The color stays my own.
Bring a hair tie
The bridges and the riverbank get windy.
What to wear
Dress
for Paris.
What to wear
Read the basics, then just your location.
For every location
Shoes matter a lot — Dress shoes, flats, loafers, heels, ankle boots — yes. Chunky travel sneakers (New Balance, Ecco, Hoka) look disappointing in photos.
Wear a dress if you can — In a dress, Parisians stop to say «félicitations!» and share the moment. It’s not staged — it’s a real Paris scene. Light, crease-resistant fabric is best. Need a dress or hair and makeup? I work with a local partner.
Night shoot? Go light — Black clothes disappear into the background.
Outfit changes from 2 hours — Let me know ahead and I’ll plan the route around it. Hiking or sports wear and flip-flops don’t photograph well.
Cold weather — From October mornings and evenings get chilly. Bring a light layer to wear between shots. Heat packs under your clothes help a lot.
Bir-Hakeim Bridge & the Seine
Chic, casual city style works best here.
Loafers, flats, Onitsuka Tiger or Nike Cortez are all fine. Jordans only really work at this spot.
Trocadéro & Pont d’Iéna
A grand approach down from the Palais de Chaillot — dressy and elegant looks shine.
Dresses, long skirts and volume read beautifully on a wide lens. For men, a suit or a neat outfit works at any location.
L’Howea Flower Shop & Paris Streets
It’s a good spot for running shots, so wear something you can move in.
Coordinated beats matching. Just share a color family — beige and cream, navy and white.
The Louvre & Tuileries Garden
It was a palace — formal, elegant outfits look especially good.
A sharp city look also works: tailored wide trousers and a leather jacket.

About night and sunset
Street lamps, building lights and the Eiffel Tower all mix, so the light shifts even between burst frames — brightness and color can vary slightly. At night, higher ISO means more noise reduction and slightly less sharpness than daylight. Night adds ₩50,000 and is for 1 hour or more.
